Expertise

Our aim: to consistently adapt and continuously expand knowledge and skills Expertise in research, development and technologies

The combination of plant engineering and technological expertise is an important component for intensive and successful cooperation with our customers. Our aim is to consistently adapt and constantly expand our knowledge and skills in order to offer our customers optimum solutions and develop innovative technologies and products.

Research projects form the basis for subsequent technology and product developments. Through close cooperation with our industrial and academic partners, customers and suppliers, innovations can be realized in line with the market and requirements. We also use this experience to offer our partners and customers high-quality advice and to consolidate long-term cooperation.

Assessment of the stage of development Technology Readiness Level (TRL)

Technology Readiness Level (TRL) is a scale for assessing the development status of new technologies on the basis of a systematic analysis. These levels can be categorized as follows: FFT is represented on the market with research projects at TRL 3-5, with technology developments at 5-7 and with its own technologies at 7-9.

1
